Yi Zhixie was considered the most laid-back person. He did not go to share the food, nor did he meet the Shanyu again. Hunting with people on horseback every day became his only hobby. As long as he hunted a lot of prey, he would give a share to anyone he met.
Except for Su Ren.
When Yi Zhixie is hunting, he is always followed by a group of boys. These boys are all the children of the victims. After helping Yi Zhixie pick up the prey, he hears Yi Zhixie laughing and saying "reward".
Here you go. At that time, the half-grown boy who has won the prize will run back excitedly with the prey in his hands and announce the good news to the whole family.
Yi Zhixie's archery skills are not very good. There is another possibility, that is, all the prey near Langjuxu Mountain have been killed. Therefore, Yi Zhixie does not bring much prey every time he comes back.
At noon that day, Su Ren was sitting under the shade of the tree in front of his tent doing nothing as usual. To his surprise, Yi Zhixie came to Su Ren with a hare in his hand, accompanied by Ashinabe.
This was the first time Yi Zhixie sent prey to Su Ren, and he even delivered it to Su Ren's tent in person.
Handing the washed and skinned rabbit to Huang Shisan, Yi Zhixie shouted: "They say the food made by Mr. Su's chef here is delicious. Today the King of Japan is here to try it, and he will eat only this rabbit and nothing else."
Do not want any."
Su Ren waved his hand to Huang Shisan to take the rabbit, and stood up to salute. Yi Zhixie smiled and sat down opposite Su Ren: "You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Su is now my King of the Huns, and we are almost the same."
Su Ren smiled and poured a cup of tea for Yi Zhixie: "Your Majesty's rabbit is not fat! Such a rabbit tastes too bad, no matter how you cook it, it will not taste good."
"No way? I have chosen the best one. The remaining ones are skinnier than this one, or are too small to be eaten. All of them will be rewarded."
"You need to eat fat game, and you need to eat lean domestic livestock. Because game moves around a lot, there is not much fat on the body. If it is thinner, it will be all the lean meat that cannot be eaten. Let's see what the king brings."
That rabbit has no trace of fat on its body, so it’s definitely not delicious.”
Yi Zhixie smiled: "Mr. Su is indeed a good eater. He can tell at a glance that the food I bring is not good. Next time, I will grab a fat one and bring it to Mr. Su to taste together."
Su Ren smiled and agreed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to make rabbit meat, Yi Zhixie and Su Ren chatted under the tree. They didn't talk much, and they didn't have much in common. Su Ren often just smiled and said nothing. But Yi Zhixie
Xie had to rack his brains to find a topic to talk about so that the two of them would not be embarrassed sitting here. Because the rabbit was too thin, it would take a long time to stew it. Just when both of them felt awkward, Bank of China said it was here.
This old guy didn't participate in the Shan Yu's grain sharing event. He hadn't been seen for a long time. Su Ren wondered if he had also been killed. His sudden appearance today surprised Su Ren.
BOC said it had bowed to Yi Zhixie and Su Ren first, and sat down next to Yi Zhixie without waiting for Su Ren's invitation.
Yi Zhixie asked first: "Military advisor, where have you been these past few days? Why are you nowhere in the royal court?"
Bank of China glanced at Su Ren and then said: "It means walking around, Shan Yu explained some things, and my servant went on a trip for Shan Yu."
"Oh? What needs the military advisor to personally take action?"
The Bank of China said: "What else is going on in the royal court now? It is naturally the matter of the victims. If the victims cannot settle down properly, the Chan Yu will not be able to sleep peacefully. Although the first batch of food has arrived, the subsequent food has never been received.
I just went to find a way for Shanyu."
Yi Zhixie exclaimed: "Can that be arranged well?"
BOC said and shook his head: "It's difficult!"
These two people were just like talking in cross talk. They talked to each other and explained Shan Yu's embarrassment clearly in front of Su Ren. Su Ren never interrupted and listened quietly, waiting for what the two people would say.
The word "coil" is vividly reflected in these two people. Yi Zhixie is a wolf, and the Bank of China calls it "embarrassment". One is overt and the other is covert, constantly digging into Shan Yu's corner. Su Ren still understands this very well.
Yi Zhixie suddenly turned around and said to Su Ren: "Mr. Su, as the king of the Huns, how can you not help Shanyu when he encounters difficulties?"
Su Ren chuckled: "Aren't you two watching with cold eyes?"
"Who said that I was just watching with cold eyes? More than half of the prey caught by the king every day were given to the victims. Besides, I proposed to resettle these victims to Yinshan, but Shanyu did not agree. Mr. Su was also in the palace at that time."
Su Ren smiled: "Yes, yes, I am incompetent and cannot help Shan Yu."
Bank of China said and glanced at Su Ren again: "It stands to reason that Mr. Su can return to Mayi as soon as the food arrives, but with the current situation, I am afraid that Mr. Su's schedule will have to be postponed. If there are not enough livestock, who knows what will happen to the grassland?"
No matter what the situation is, I would like to advise Mr. Su that it is best to leave as soon as possible."
Su Ren sighed: "It's not that I don't want to leave, it's that I can't leave!"
Yi Zhixie had a look of disdain on his face: "How could the Chanyu be like this? How could he say that this first batch of grain was also obtained by Mr. Su? Now that the Chanyu wants to go back on his word, why is Mr. Su still being used as a hostage? In a few days, the king will prepare
When we go back to Yinshan, Mr. Su, would you like to go with us? I wonder who will dare to stop me then?"
Su Ren saluted Yi Zhixie and said: "Thanks to the king for your kindness, maybe it won't be long before Shanyu can gather enough livestock. It won't be too late to leave then!"
Yi Zhixie looked at Bank of China and asked anxiously: "Military advisor, is what Mr. Su said true?"
Bank of China said with a smile: "I don't think so! I'm afraid things will get worse. Today I accompanied Shan Yu on a tour of the victims, and actually heard many people criticizing Shan Yu. This is anger. Once anger reaches a certain level, this is
One hundred thousand victims may turn into mad dogs."
"Ah! These ungrateful things actually repay kindness with hatred? Is it possible that they still dare to rebel?"
The Bank of China waved his hand and said, "It's not that the victims repaid their kindness with revenge, but that the Chanyu didn't do his best. Speaking of which, the first batch of grain only required 300 horses, but the Chanyu asked each tribe to contribute something, and with the Chanyu's
In terms of livestock size, this is not much."
"Then why didn't the military advisor inform Shan Yu? If something really happened, it would be troublesome!"
Bank of China said and shook his head: "This is just the first batch. I don't know how many more will follow. If one person is responsible for it, no one else will help with the food later. The four-month ration for 100,000 people is not a small number.
No matter how many livestock we have, we may not be able to feed the appetites of the victims. If we really run out of food in the future, the response of those victims may be even more intense than now."
"Why is this?"
"It's not why, it's just habit. Since the Shanyu supports them, they will get used to it and feel that it is the responsibility of the Shanyu. Once they stop raising them, they will feel that the Shanyu is not treating them well and will make it worse!" Su Ren said for BOC
He explained: "In our Han Dynasty, this was called the promotion of rice and the fighting of rice and hatred. The more you give, the stronger their hatred will be."
Yi Zhixie scratched his head and said, "What's the point of this? I don't understand!"
"You don't need to understand. Your Majesty, just remember, don't try your best when helping others, and don't involve yourself like Shan Yu."
"What should we do? Watch them starve to death?"
The Bank of China said and shook its head: "Help them at the last moment. It has to be a small help. It depends on their luck whether they can survive."
Yi Zhixie looked at Bank of China and said, then looked at Su Ren and sighed: "You Han people are too narrow-minded!"
The rabbit meat was finally stewed. When he opened the lid, bursts of aroma hit his nostrils. Yi Zhixie was not polite and pulled the pot of stewed meat towards him, pulled out a dagger and picked out a piece. He didn't bother to heat it.
, stuffed it into his mouth and sucked it for a while. Su Ren also tasted a piece. It was indeed a bit of firewood, and his teeth were drilled, so it was not very comfortable to eat. Therefore, Su Ren only ate a piece and stopped reaching out.
Yi Zhixie told Bank of China that she was very happy with the meal. While eating, she praised Su Ren's subordinates' craftsmanship and wished they could bring him to his place: "It's really extraordinary. This king has seen a lot!"
Looking for the scent, Mo Yu got out of his tent. Yi Zhixie and Bank of China said that he had seen it before, so there was no need to be polite. He stretched his neck to look into the clay pot, and also pulled out his short knife to pick it out.
Yi Zhixie was so focused on the jar of stew that she didn't notice Mo Yu's arrival. She was startled by the short knife that was suddenly thrust into the jar and subconsciously dodged back.
Mo Yu didn't care about Yi Zhixie's murderous vision and just enjoyed the delicious food. Ashina was furious: "How dare you! You are just a servant, how can you eat with the king?"
Mo Yu ignored him and just ate the meat in his hand. Bank of China smiled and waved his hand to Asch: "General, don't mind it so much. Mr. Su has no subordinates here. These subordinates of his sit at the same table as Mr. Su."
And if he is used to eating, he won’t care about your identity, so what’s the harm in letting him eat two pieces?”
Yi Zhixie raised her hand to stop Asch's tribe, and looked at Mo Yu: "Is this the person who escorted the food? How can he be safe for two thousand miles? You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person."
Mo Yu glanced at Yi Zhixie: "You are not simple either. Those chess pieces placed among the victims are very useful!"
Yi Zhixie's eyes narrowed and she stared at Mo Yu for a long time, tightening the dagger in her hand.
"Ahem!" Su Ren coughed: "Okay, okay, it's time to eat and drink. Let's not talk about things that have nothing to do with us today."
Bank of China said and shook his head slightly at Yi Zhixie. Yi Zhixie regained his energy and said to Su Ren: "Sir, are you still investigating this king?"
Su Ren smiled: "No! Mr. Bank of China made a mistake just now. This person is not one of my subordinates. He was entrusted by the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce to escort the grain this time. He has nothing to do with me. What's wrong? Your Majesty, is it true?
Have you placed people among the victims?"
Bank of China said with a smile: "Since Mr. Su knows everything, let's not hide it from him. The fate of the Xiongnu in the future is on our little table. As long as Mr. Su nods, your king will always be the king of the Xiongnu."
, no matter who becomes Shanyu in the end, what do Mr. Su think of my proposal?"
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed and nodded heavily at BOC. (To be continued)
